Recommended Single Bike Hitch Bike Rack for a Lectric Lite 2 E-Bike

Question

Question:

I have an Lectric Lite 2 e-bike and I am looking for a bike hitch rack that will be ok with fenders. I found B29VR and it looks good, are there any others? The frame on my bike is a step over so the frame bar is lower than the ones pictured. Thank you

Hey Suzi! The Benton LittleShift Bike Rack for 1 Bike w/ Hitch Lock item # B54VR is going to be the best option for your Lectric Lite 2 e-bike. Your wheels sit too low for a wheel mounted bike rack and the LittleShift is the only one that can attach to the frame.

The item # B54VR has a 80 lbs capacity and works with tires up to 4" wide so you'll be set.

Due to your frame bar being so low, you will also need the Bike Frame Adapter Bar item # 64005. This will attach to your seat and handle bar posts so the padded hook on the Benton item # B54VR can secure your bike.

What kind of vehicle do you have and does it have a 2" hitch receiver?
